Tue MIcROSCOPE. 287 
tures. The article on wheat is very exhaustive and gives one a 
good idea of certain plant formations. The third comprises a 
series of articles written originally for ‘‘ Tae Microscopr” by W. 
H. Walmsley. The name of the author is a sufficient guarantee 
of their excellence. Altogether the work is worthy the perusal of 
all workers—especially beginners—in microscopy. 
MicroscoricAL Recorps.—Chas. HE. Alling, Rochester, N. Y. 
Since receiving the advanced pages of the ‘: Microscopical Records,” 
as published by Chas. E. Alling of Rochester, N. Y., we are in 
receipt of a copy which far exceeds our anticipations. It is hand- 
somely bound in cloth with leather back and corners and contains 
spaces for one thousand specimens. There are twenty pages for 
formule, after which follows an alphabetical index. The paper 
and press work are very creditable, and we heartily endorse the 
work, for it seems to supply a need among microscopists which has 
long been felt, and we believe that the book has but to be seen to 
be appreciated. 
PUBLISHER’S ANNOUNCEMENT. 
EADERS of Tuer Microscope will note the circumstance that 
its publication has passed into new hands. The arrange- 
ment under which it has been published since its recent change of 
ownership was only a temporary one. Hereafter the business 
management of the journal will be wholly distinct from its edi- 
torial conduct. The former we have assumed, regarding it as a 
business enterprise capable of being developed and rendered re- 
munerative. The latter will remain in the hands of a body of men 
whose scholarly and professional attainments we feel sure will se- 
cure for THe Microscope a largely increased subscription list. 
We propose on our part to exert ourselves to render THE 
Microscope hereafter as attractive in its external appearance as it 
is intrinsically valuable in its contents, and to make its advertising 
columns profitable both to readers and to those who shall favor us 
with advertising patronage. 
Hereafter all communications relating to subscriptions or to 
advertisements should be addressed to D. O. Haynes & Company, 
P. O. Box 583, while communications or publications and editorial 
correspondence should be addressed to ‘‘ Tar Microscope,” 83 La- 
fayette Avenue, Detroit, Michigan.
